Husband scours 18 tons of rotten food to find wedding rings

STEVE and Jeannine Van Ysseldyk went out for dinner recently near their home in Canada when Jeannine glanced at her left hand and froze.

Her two wedding rings - a one-carat diamond solitaire and a white gold band with small diamonds —were missing. She never takes them off.

“She just had a frantic, blank face on her,” Steve Van Ysseldyk said of his wife.

Jeannine had just washed her hands when she noticed her bare ring finger. The couple searched the restaurant — not far from where they live, in Mission, British Columbia — but came up empty. At first, they thought the rings had slipped down the drain, but they watched the dash cam footage from their car and realised she was not wearing them on their way to dinner.

Back at home, they checked their outdoor cameras and narrowed the possibilities further. She had the rings the day before, on August 12, but not while watering the plants that evening.
